Believe it or not, not all countries are as lucky as we are to get to see the movie on July 4th. Take the UK for example; Transfans there will not see it's release until July 27th!!! This is an outrage and will undoubtedly cause many problems, including increased piracy. A petition has been put together as an attempt to make July 4th the worldwide release date. I signed it, so if you'd like to (which you should  ), you can find the petition here: www.petitiononline.com/TFRDWW/petition.html[glow=red,2,300] 'Til all are one![/glow] |

Oh dear.... Why do the fans think they need to stick their noses in on every single aspect of the movie? We dont like bumblebee as a corvette, we dont like the way megatrons head looks, we dont like optimus having a flame paint job, bla bla bla.... I say its their movie, their story line, and above all, their money that makes the whole thing possible... Let them release it when and how they want, they are going to anyway.. May as well let them do it in peace.
And online petitions are stupid. They didnt bring back futurama, or firefly.... So I deem them useless, and pointless.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not advocating the idiocy that led to the Optimus Prime flame paint petition (whiners), I'm merely stating that it's unfair to have the same release date for nearly every country EXCEPT for the UK. Perhaps if you were as excited about the movie as some people are, and just happened to live in the UK, you might feel differently. I posted this thread as a opportunity for those who hadn't seen it yet and might be interested in signing it. If you disagree with it, then simply show your disapproval............. by not signing!  |

thank you ravage, i can understand where malform is coming from (personally i never signed one of those "Make bumblebee a VW" petitons, coz they were just daft...Yes i was unhappy, but i got over it.
Living in the UK myself i am annoyed that we are reciving it nearly 3 weeks after everyone else. I cant wait to see this movie.
and let me just point out one thing....Spiderman3 was released worldwide on the same day...so why not transformers.

Well, since you have to wait three weeks to see it, maybe the lines won't be as long! (Nobody ever said the bright side had to make any sense.) |

How many people need to sign it before they change the date?

ROFL. Malform, the eternal pessimist! ;D
I got a true chuckle out of this, Ravage85. Thank you for that. I really don't know where to begin on this one...let's take Cadbury. I LOVE turkish delight. Try finding that stateside...you can't. What about Jellies (Autobot1000 knows about this) - they're chocolate confections with jelly in the middle. Can't get those either. As a matter of fact, I've picked up a lot of little fancies all over the world that you can't find here. Take Tiger thingy, for example - you can only get this in China, which increases libido, but here people have to get little blue pills. Hookahs too - can't readily get them, OR the tobacco for them, but man are they cool for an after dinner smoke. Finally, let's look at whippin' my wife's ass. Sometimes I'd LOVE to hand her a knuckle sandwich, but unfortunately we, here in America, don't go by Sharia law like they do is Qatar, UAE, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, and other garden spots. What's a man to do? ;D (J/K about the last...)
The point is that I can name hundreds of things that I'd love to have here in the states that are hard to get. Should I petition to have the right to get them here? Give me an Effin Break. Deal with it. Piracy goes on regardless. People can wait. Who really cares that you have to wait until the 27th? Really man, really. I'm pissed because I have to wait until September until Heroes comes back on TV. Should I petition? Will it change things? No....

As I'm sure everyone has heard time and time again, fan demand brought back Family Guy. Petitions can be effective. I'd imagine it's pessimistic attitudes that kill petitions and make them ineffective.

Should I petition? Will it change things? No.... personally i probably will pick up the pirate DVD anyway (and still go to see it at the cinema too.) and I can see your point, but (and i dont know if you ment to word it this way) Who really cares that you have to wait until the 27th? (I know it wasnt a personal dig at me) but i think you'd be a little pissed if it was the other way round and jellies...dude, now your just making me hungry...lol |
